I'll abbreviate, as I tend to become long winded. LOL.
I'm looking for table top sized doilies made with good strong thread / string / yarn / whatever
to put on the top of a table cloth so that the color shows between the threads. Knowing very
little about the terms, I'll just say I would like a pretty pattern, not necessarily pineapples, but
that will do.
However, I don't want them too long, I just want them to cover the top of the table and not
hang over the sides. This seems to be about a 38" or so size. For those of you who crochet
such things, could you tell me what a 'normal' size is for a standard round table top, if there is such a norm?
Also, if you were to crochet such an item, what is the term for the heavy duty yarn used? I'm
looking for one that is made with something stronger than thin string, but not the soft yarn style, either.
Something that could endure a wash if it had to, but still appear delicate.
And...one last question. Do any of you make such toppers for sale? Hint, hint.
Even if someone did make these and sell them they couldn't talk about it here unless they were willing to trade you one for some plants or something rather than selling it to you--only place here you're allowed to sell anything is if you pay to put an ad on the new Classified forum.
Didn't know we were allowed to do that either! Learn something new every day :) I assumed when you posted again that you hadn't gotten anything yet, and a lot of people aren't familiar with the no selling rule, obviously you're not one of them so I apologize for pointing out something that you already knew.
